Answer:

HERE JUST TAKE IT

Explanation:

Ok, there's carbon and hydrogen in all of them, that's the only similarity. They are known collectively as macro-nutrients.

Carbohydrates are basically, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen and they're the bodies primary source of energy. This means that they're the first source of energy used which is why if you eat foods high in simple sugars you get a sugar rush. All carbs metabolize down to glucose, some faster than others.

Fats are called lipids. Lipids are very heterogeneous (this means that there's not much similarity between them). Some examples of lipids are steroids, seed oils, pork fat, cholesterol, etc. The main thing in common with them is that they don't mix with water. They are readily stored in fat cells in the form of tryglicerides and are used when carbs are all used up. They also yield the highest per gram amount of energy (it escapes me right now).

In a chemical sense, fats are lipids derived from animals (saturated, solid at room temperature) and oils are derived from plants and seeds (insaturated with some exceptions, and liquid at room temperature. Insaturated are healthier because they contain HDL which cleans your arteries (prevents artherosclerosis).

Proteins are made up of aminoacids, 20 make up the vast amount of human proteins. Enzimes (the most famous being digestive enzimes) are proteins, skin is covered in protein, hair is protein, cilia and flagella are protein, basically EVERYTHING is protein, after water the human body is basically protein. They're only used up as energy when everything else is used up.

When athletes eat/drink protein, it's to give them building materials in order to increase the amount of stuff inside their cells which will enable them to produce more energy.

If DNA read A-T-T-A-C-G-G-C-C what would the RNA read? Why is DNA replication important?
Yanka [14]

If DNA read A-T-T-A-C-G-G-C-C the RNA would be U-A-A-U-G-C-C-G-G

DNA replication is important because new cells require their own strand of the DNA. Without replication, there would be no new organisms because the DNA’s information would not be passed on.

I would believe it is the Ozone but since it’s not an option the Ferrel Cell is the westerlies and the polar cell is the polar easterlies. So, I would say go with 4! Hope this helps, goodluck! xoxo.

Which organelle serves as temporary storage of melanin or glycogen?
OLga [1]

Answer: Inclusions or inclusion structures serve as temporary storage of molecules like glycogen and melanin.

Inclusion structures are the aggregates formed of specific molecule types.

The inclusion bodies serve the purpose of temporary storage for molecules such as proteins, lipids, glycogen and melanin. One of the major differences between cell organelle and cell inclusion is that organelles are the living components or subcomponents which have particular functions but cell inclusions are non-living compounds or by products of metabolism process present in the cytoplasm.
